Three complete stories from the Dryden universe starring Tian, Brent – and Puss
Imperial agent Tian Axmar teams up with down-on-his-luck freighter captain Brent Walker to investigate a string of gruesome murders threatening to ignite war between Humans and Yrmaks. As they dig deeper into alien culture and deadly secrets, loyalty and love collide—and the choices they make will change everything.
A devastated colony, a mysterious survivor, and a deadly conspiracy push Tian and Brent to their limits. Joined by Puss, a telepathic feline with extraordinary powers, they must expose the truth behind a plot to plunge the Empire into chaos—before it's too late.
Former Imperial Security chief Celia Whitley wants revenge, and she'll burn whole worlds to get it. Following her trail of stolen weapons, Tian, Brent, and Puss race to prevent another interspecies war—only to discover Whitley's final target strikes painfully close to home.
